Holders:: Nottingham Forest

The Full Members Cup was held from 1985 to 1992. It was also known as the Simod Cup from 1987 to 1989 and the Zenith Data Systems Cup from 1989 to 1992. It was created after the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster, when English clubs were banned from European competition, as an additional competition for clubs in the top two English League divisions.
Forest won the cup twice, in 1989 and 1992 and, seeing as that was the final season, we own the trophy!
